Description of
geographic, physical,
biological, geological,
hydrographic and
socio-economic
context
The marz of Ararat is located in the southwest of Armenia and is bordered by
Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic from the south, Turkey- from the
west, Gegharkunik and Vayots dzor provinces from the east and Yerevan and
Kotayk province from the north. Marz total area is 2096 sq. km. The most part of the
marz territory is located 880 m above the sea level. Relief consists of mountain chains
and approximately 30% of the territory is plain. The biggest rivers are Araks,
Hrazdan, Azat and Vedi. The highest peak is Spitakasar of Gegham mountains
(3560m).
Climate: Climate is dry, strict continental. Annual precipitation rate ranges from 200-
1000 mm. Summer temperature can rich 42°C, the average year temperature is 24 °C.
Seismic activity: the possible strength of earthquakes (I)-9 points, ground maximal
horizontal acceleration is (g) ->0.4 m/sec2. Ararat marz is located in seismic active
zone.
Artashat city is the capital of the Ararat Province. It is located on Araks river in the
Ararat plain, 30 km southeast of Yerevan, 829 m above the sea level.
As of January 1, 2015, the town has a population of 21,500.
Artashat is home to many large industrial firms, mainly involved in food processing
and building materials. Other Small plants include the production of building materials
and textile. Many large construction companies operate in the town as well.
Artashat MC provides medical services to the population of the region. Almost 91.500
people are in catchment area of the MC.
Artashat MC was built in 1982. All the buildings, except the space intended for
gynecological department haven’t been even cosmetically renovated during these
years. The medical services of the MC are located in 4 sub-buildings` the main,
polyclinics, administrative and infection.
Locations and distance
for material sourcing,
especially aggregates,
water, stones?
The local construction materials will be moved from about 8 km distance.
Water will be available at the construction site from the municipal water supply
system.
Volume of waste generated during the subproject implementation is expected to be
modest and will be transported to the landfill, 5 km far from the site, which is given by
Municipality.
LEGISLATION
Identify national &
local legislation &
permits that apply to
project activity
The subproject has been classified as low risk Category B according to the WB policies
and the EMF. Artashat municipal authority approved the subproject.
Armenian legislation does not require any type of environmental review, approval, or
permitting for the subproject. Though according to the national regulatory system,
(i) works contractor must be licensed,
(ii) construction materials must be obtained from licensed providers,
(iii) if contractor wishes to operate own concrete plant (rather than purchasing these
materials from other providers), then the contractor must obtain an
environmental permit with an established ceiling of pollutant concentrations in
emissions;
(iv) disposal of the construction waste into a landfill or permanent placement of
access inert material generated in the course of earth works in a selected location
must be approved by Artashat local municipality in written.
Copies of construction licenses if applicable, and waste disposal permits will be
attached to this EMP once the contractor is selected and mobilized to the work site.
GOST and SNIP norms must be adhered.
PUBLIC CONSULTATION
Identify when / where
the public consultation
process took place
Project-specific draft EMP was made available for Artashat population and discussed
in a consultation meeting on March 16, 2016.

Annex 2. Minutes of Public Consultation Meeting on the Draft Environmental
Management Plan for Reconstruction of Artashat MC Building
The public hearing was conducted on 16 March 2016 in the Artashat MC of
Ararat marz regarding to EMP of the WB-financed NDPC #5222-AM project of the
reconstruction works of the Artashat MC with the participation of local NGOs,
stakeholders, community members, architect-designer, representatives of local
government, municipality and HPIU.
In the opening speech the Artashat MC Director Vardan Hovhanisyan
welcomed the participants and asked HPIU coordinator Davit Melik-Nubaryan to
present the information about current activities on the center modernization. The
HPIU coordinator presented the current activities and reconstruction works of the
Artashat MC EMP and noted that this document has been developed based on the
requirements of the World Bank Operational Manual, which presents the WB
environmental policy. He told that the impact on the environment and hazard were
assessed, all needed measures should be undertaken to minimize the environmental
risks, paying attention especially on perfect management of the medical and
reconstruction waste and the prevention of pollution of the water drainage system of
Artashat City, which is very important. HPIU coordinator concluded that no negative
impact on the environment issue is expected.
Afterwards, the participants of the hearing discussed about issues the subject
concerned.
At the end of the meeting the Coordinator thanked the participants for active
participation and interesting discussion.
The Minutes of the Meeting in native language, with pictures is presented
below. The EMP was printed and distributed among participants.
